CSMG + HVB + Warp Ammo is a killer on the Asari Huntress, if you've set up warp and dark channel the "proper" way (ie; armour damage).  Against Reapers and Collectors, you might as well be shooting at tissue paper, you'll rip through their units so fast.

 

You can use it on other biotics too, with good effect, but the Huntress just seems to take it to another level.

He's still a powerhouse in plat too, although I throw the saber on him. Where do you find these biotic plat teams at? All I usually ever see on xbox are tech or infiltrator teams and a lot of juggs.

I really like the GE, but I would never use the indra on it (again). The gun is horrible, suffers too many design flaws that make it impractical. So many other guns do it better.

dunno about that

 

i quite like this build as i can pšrofit from both accuracy and rof

You had me at "Huntress." :D Definitely have to give that a try.

I love the controller too much on Xbox haha. Not sure if I could start from scratch either...it would be interesting though.

I can testify to this.

 

And Indra GI is how I GI on PC, myself.

 

(Plus Indra GE was my main SR amp user on my XBOX ME3 acct -- back when it didn't freeze my system)

I noticed a sizeable market of XBox shaped controllers for PS3 and PC when I was trying to look for decent aftermarket controllers (for PS3 and PC). Apparently that is the prefered shape. There's a reason why I just got more Sony DS3s.

You have a maxed Tempest. I'd go with that to get challenges done, it's good even on Gold iirc.

 

Indeed. I used the tempest as my favorite smg for casters (asari huntress in particular) on gold when the game trolled me and the commendation packs wouldn't drop a hurricane Locust is passable-ish on gold too, but you gotta land those headshots. Fortunately it's accurate enough to. Not particularly good against bosses though.

 

 

My recommendation for doing the smg challenge quickly is to only equip the smg and don't put it on a caster...you use your powers too much and they'll make up the majority of your points. Quarian marksman, GI, Turian soldier, etc, are good choices as they all increase RoF.

My main problem, honestly. >_>

 

I've enjoyed GSMG and Hornet on the GI, but I want to set that guy aside for a little bit before I get tired of him. Might give QM a shot, since iirc HamleticTortoise pretty highly recommended him.

The Quarian Marksman is so OP that his fellow Quarians demanded that he get nerfed.

He has the lowest shields of all Quarians, and no nuke-grenades.

He's still good, but I would've prefered the standard Quarian Male shields, and Arc nades are better than Sabotage (he doesn't need three powers fighting for cooldown!).

So, my recommendation is to skip Sabotage, and max everything else. Marksman specced for Firing Rate is always good, and Tactical Scan can/will soften up the more bullet-sponge enemies, which should help with your SMG challenges. I use the Saber on him, so he's pretty much just a MM-Spammer for me.

Yeah, I looked up builds on him and pretty much everyone skips Sabotage.

fwiw I've really enjoyed Sabotage on the QFI, but for QM it just doesn't seem to synergize with his other powers. :/

It has anti-synergy on him, any time you Sabotage, is time not doing more damage (either via Marksman, or TacScan debuff).

 

Sabotage is a great power on the QFI (for so many reasons). And the Male Engineer should have gotten Sabotage instead of TacScan. I would spec into it on the Engineer if he had it.

Not with a crappy low level SMG. He needs a decent weapon, because he struggles VS armor. He will kill mooks with overload and headshots easily, but when the big boys come, he needs DPS. And GI is way better in that regard, because of 20% debuff from PM and raw cloak damage. 

 

Well, the GI is possibly the most powerful character there is, but I still wouldn't prefer him to the GE for SMG challenges. I played a Gold game as a GE with CSMG at level II, where Arkhne more or less had to tell me to slow down.  I admit I did run out of ammo a few times in later waves, but that was more to do with being used to the gun at level X.  I adore the GPSMG (with incendiary) on the GE to the point that it's actually my preferred weapon for him. And 'when the big boys come' is about the only time that it needs its ramp-up - which works absolutely fine. I often begin tackling bosses by shooting straight into the soft cover in front of me for a second or so, so that I'm only exposed while doing maximum damage. There are of course better guns which can kill things faster, but there is no better character for the GPSMG (or even some of the other SMGs) than the GE.

 

If using the Locust for challenges (another genuine favourite of mine), I recommend using a scope and focusing on headshots - any Engineer or Turian should do the job nicely.  I like the Tempest most on the Fury, and the BPP is great on the Vorcha Soldier too.

 

Conversely, I really hate the Hornet, and in more than 2.5k hours I've only scored 1760 points with the Shuriken, and will never add to that tally.  B)

Update for anyone who wondered, I guess: Locust was really nice on QFI. Tempest worked well with TSol. Might return to GI for finishing up GPSMG; wasn't fond of it on TSol, maybe due to the lack of geth damage bonus or TC or HM bonuses. Marksman can only do so much. Also, Hornet wasn't bad on GI. Good for headshots. :)

 

Still not sure who to go with for CSMG. I've never really used it before (I think I tried it out once and then gave up in disgust?) so I'm not completely certain what kind of character it would fit well with for weapon kills.

I'm terrible with GE. :( I'm too bad at multitasking to remember to deploy the turret regularly, and I spend much of my time living in fear that some wandering mook/prime/scion/ravager/dragoon/nemesis will take advantage of my vulnerability and kill me in two shots (which they do). :(

You know, I halfway expected that to be a Lancer QFI, and even though this is a thread about SMGs I would've just accepted it without surprise.
